Love it!

The sad thing is, they probably would be proud!

 

[disneyaggie]

We could make a thread of the awful stuff we see, but we would probably get censored... too bad they can't be censored at the parks... LOL

Sad but true!

I saw a kid, I dont know about 6 maybe? With a shirt that had a picture of a marajuana plant smoking a joint! I was shocked.

Okay. I have been waiting to have something good to post here so here goes. DS14 and I just returned from our trip Saturday for a week in Disneyworld. It was wonderful. One night while at MGM I was waiting outside the restrooms that are right by RNR and TOT when this guy runs up to his wife/girlfriend who was sitting beside me and in a panic grabs the cell phone and says “Bobby” is in big trouble. He got caught hopping the fence. Well, about that time, DS comes out of the restroom so I had no good reason to sit there and hear the details. We proceed on to RNR to ride. We must have waited in the stand by line because by the time we got up to stand in the lines that seat you in the limos there was the guy we had seen near the bathrooms. He must have had a FP as he was already on the ride. He was sitting pretty quiet while his buddy got pulled off the ride by a CM. The jerk then proceeded to cuss out the CM and make all kinds of threats. Finally, they escorted him out and the ride continued. I hope he was escorted out of the park.

Another one was also on RNR. We were again in the lines to get into the limos when we see a guy on the limo with a neck brace on!!!! He was riding the roller coaster with a neck injury!!! What an idiot.

Finally, the biggest one was while DS and I were waiting in line for Buzz. It was about a 30 minute wait so the lines were pretty congested. There was this one guy in front of us with a pretty big backpack on and a group of about 6 teens behind us. The kids were really nice and very funny. They kept cracking jokes and DS and I were laughing when the backpack guy turns around and says to DS “It’s not funny!” We just both looked at him like he was crazy. Then, backpack guy keeps turning around looking for someone who I later found out was his wife and little girl to join him in line. He kept bumping us or we would accidentally bump the backpack. No big deal. I mean, its Disneyworld. It is crowded. People will touch each other. He then turns around and says “Would you just back off! You’re not getting on the ride any faster!” I just smiled and said “Well, you know people bump into each other. No big deal.” He says “Just back off.” So DS and I stand there and let him get about 3 feet in front of us and let that 3 foot space stay there the rest of the way in line. He turns around then and says “Now you are just doing it on purpose.” I said, “Mister I am just giving you your personal space.” It really made him look like such a jerk and actually I wanted the space because with his attitude I didn’t know if he would try to push me or DS or try to hit one of us. His wife and child did join him after all this and he must have told her about everything. At first she just stared at us but when she saw we were normal people she kept smiling apologetically to us.

Backpack guy sounds like a real jerk!

My worst was last year, waiting for the parade at AK. We sat down right on the front line, next to a mom and 2 young teens who had made the trip from England to visit WDW. Behind the teens was a stroller. The owner of the stroller decided not to watch the parade and asked the girls to move so she could get the stroller. They did so, no problem - stood up and politely waited for her to get the stroller so they could sit back down. As the woman rolled away the stroller, a family who had been on the other side of the girls jumped into their space, sitting right where the stroller AND girls had been! The poor girls just stood there, not knowing exactly what to do. Their mom politely asked the family to move over so her girls could sit back down - and they refused! They were really nasty about it, too. Trying to help, I spoke up and said that yes, the girls had been sitting there and had just moved to help someone else out, but no go. That boorish family - including gramma and grandpa, who had the worst mouths in the bunch just flat refused and were really obnoxious about it. I wound up dragging my really-too-big-and-heavy DD into my lap, making just enough room for these two girls to sit basically on top of each other and on top of their mom. They were still wonderfully polite and wound up playing with my daughter until the parade started and the mom did thank me for saying something.

I'm not easy to anger, but I really wanted to let fly on those people....... Dontcha wish that you had a magic wand to just make these foul people disappear?

I would want to take that magic wand and whack the clueless losers over their heads!

One of the most shocking things that I saw was actually at Disneyland. It was a couple December's ago and we were all piled into Main Streen to watch the fireworks and have it "Snow" on us. Over to my right, a mother put her 2 year old on top of the trash can to sit. First of all, I wouldn't put my child on a trash can because of germs, but also because they are a good three feet off the ground. Well, before the fireworks started, the little boy fell off the trash can and landed right on another little boy's head. Both boys were crying and the mother obviously felt really bad as she kept checking on the boy that her son landed on. I think both boys were a little hurt but the child on the trash can received no attention from his mother as she was more concerned with the child that he landed on, who's parents were not happy. I felt really bad for all involved. Of course at that point there was nothing anyone could do.

Shocking things I've seen at WDW...
....
I think my absolute ifavorite is the RUDE people who are in perfectly good health who will not give up their seats on the buses to women with small children, older guests, or anyone with a physical disability. How long is the ride back to your resort? STAND and give your seat to someone who really NEEDS it.

You're dern skippy! On my honeymoon, my DH and I stood everywhere we rode the busses to in order that older folks, women with children, little ones, pregnant ladies and folks with injuries could sit in safety. When I went down and was obviously pregnant, people would push past me to get into a seat before I could. There were a few really great people who would see me clinging to my DH and insist that I take their seat (which I would loudly and gratefully thank them for) and some of these folks were people who rightfully should have remained seated.

The most shocking incident I have with this is when a very nice man offered me his seat next to his wife, and before I could lower myself into the seat, some half-drunken guy slides in directly beneath my lowering fanny! I debated letting my DH and the other husband pummel him, but decided to go ahead and finish lowering my large pregnant caboose right onto this guy's lap. I told him, and everyone on the bus that I had no problem sharing the seat with him, but that I hoped he was ok with the idea that I was 5.5 months pregnant and was still vomiting quite a bit. I also told him (loudly) that I hoped that I didn't cut the circulation off to the rest of his legs. He laughed and joked about it, saying that he couldn't tell that I was pregnant, and offered to let my husband be my seat-cushion for the ride, but I bet you a million dollars he'll be more careful about whose seat he steals next time.

Oh My.
Some people have no respect.

Way to go, I'm glad u stood your ground and made that knucklehead realize what a fool he was to just steal your seat like that.

My family and I were down in February, and we were waiting for a tram. We were the first row in line to get on, so we figured since it was first line, we get on first row, but NOOOOOO, this little boy runs to the first line, when he was in the second line and takes our seats. I was so angry. And his mother knew she was wrong to allow him to do that. How hard it is to match lines with the rows? Good grief. My kids were like, mommy, they took our seats, and we are tired.

I felt bad for them, but what could I do, make them get up?

Well the second tram came and do u believe that this other group in the 2nd Line tried to do the same exact thing. So, even tho they started gettting on, I got on in the middle of them, and then they were like, "you split us up". I said no, you belong in that line. We were waiting here 1st.

That's awful, but you see it happen all the time. On our last trip, we got the last seat on the last ferry out of MGM, and it started to rain. This couple with their kids were half out the back door and getting wet, so we decided to give up our seats to let their three kids scootch in with our daughter. The parents thanked us profusely, but then put my child on one kid's lap, and their other child on the big one's lap so that they could share the aisle seat. We ended up getting wet instead because there was really no standing room. I was annoyed, but my DD was having fun with the three girls, so I guess it was fine---I'm not made of sugar after all.

I guess I will add one of the bigger shocks I have seen.

In December when I was going into Epcot around 3:00 there was a group of teenagers in front of us. After going through security one of the teenagers looked surprised when he got his bag back. The security guy asked what was wrong and the guy said there was a bomb in it. The security gal suddenly had the shocked look and asked him to repeat what he just said. They guy was dumb enough to say the exact same thing. Suddenly he gets pulled out of line and the sherriff was talking to him. We got through before we could see what happened but as we were leaving the phrases minimum jail time and felony were heard.

The rest of his group was laughing at him and trying to get as far away from him as possible.

This story was told to me by my best friend who lives near Disneyworld. It was in the morning in MK, when she noticed a girl crying that her feet were hurting. She was wearing plastic high heeled shoes. The mother totally disreguarded her and kept pulling her along. For the rest of the day my friend saw them a couple of times more, and this time she really got a good look at the girls feet while waiting on a line. Her feet were beet red and covered with blisters! The mother just didn't care. I thought this was awful. What would posess a mother to put plastic shoes on a child in disney? My friend did say they were speaking spanish, so maybe in their culture it is common for young children to wear high heels, but why in disney? I myself am half latin, so I am not saying in any way all latin people do this.

Ahhh..I just remembered one when I read this. Bomb threats in WDW are one of the most retarded "pranks" you could pull.

On New Years Eve 99/00, a couple of us were working as extra security rather than the regular lumber jacks to help out with the crowds. We had heard there was a bomb threat in the Mexican pavilion but then later heard it was a false alarm.

We went home to the commons that night to party it up. One of the guys said "Look at my Mexican's roommates car!". We looked and saw that someone had placed a big orange tire boot on it. Quite strange to see, no? No one really paid much attention to it and we thought maybe the Mexican roommate had missed a car payment or something.

Nope, the guy had called in a bomb threat himself in the pavilion that night and was taken to a local jail cell before being deported.

Who, especially an employee, calls in a bomb threat and expects to get away with it?

Pfffft....kids.

Oh. My. Gosh. What's that line from that comic..."here's your sign". That guy would definitely be the front runner for 'Idiot of the Year'.

I'd be willing to bet that the child insisted on wearing those shoes that day. Mom probably warned her that they would be uncomfortable but the kid didn't care and wanted to wear them anyway.

Calling in bomb threats are no longer the "chidish pranks" that they once were before 9/11. In this day in age, law enforcement takes these things very seriously. A lot of people seem to have forgotten what happened back then.
